The CrossGroup team has over 75 collective years of experience in business performance and leadership development. Each of our team members has proven success in both business management and consulting.The CrossGroup supports the growth and development of organizations and their leaders. We partner with organizations and use 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team as a tool to understand the workforce, improve employee engagement, and increase team effectiveness. We also offer a Leadership Program composed of a variety of seminars to support your business initiatives, organizational development, and team members.The CrossGroup difference is in specialization. Unlike other consulting firms, our Business Excellence Model goes beyond canned presentations based on corporate generalities. We dig deep to discover who you are as a company and then tailor proven business development strategies to fit your company, rather than expecting your company to fit our strategies.To tailor a Leadership Program to your needs, we meet with the management team to understand the strategic direction and objectives of the business and its issues. In doing so, we gain an understanding of the business, the management team, the culture and direction of the company. This allows us to identify individual skills and competencies, address employee challenges including hiring, retention, engagement, and performance, as well as assess needed corrective actions or suggest added emphasis on key management issues. Finally, we introduce Continuous Improvement as a path to sustained performance excellence.Instead of teaching to you, we prefer to stand beside you. We ask questions, we listen, and then we develop a strategic direction with you. Due to our unique approach, firms we’ve worked with have seen incredible results and exponential improvement.

Every organization needs a strategic direction, complete with goals and objectives that are clearly articulated and measured on a regular basis. Without them, they often face associated problems and issues.We begin the process by gaining an understanding of the strategic direction and mission of the organization. We have helped many organizations in the development of a strategic plan. We interview the key company managers to:- Determine, or establish the strategic direction- Gain insight into the culture and personality of the company- Understand the organization and the management team- Understand the goals and objectives- Build a tailored plan to address, correct or strengthen each employee
The key to addressing organizational issues is to understand the strengths, weakness and culture of the organization. It may be difficult or impossible to implement strategic plans without a supporting organizational culture. Without understanding the culture and assessing the employees’ current competencies, the management team is unable to implement strategies.We use assessment tools to:- Identify the current culture- Identify the organizations’ strengths and weaknesses- Develop the preferred culture- Measure workforce engagementSuch information assists in the implementation of its strategic direction, but also enables it to identify the needed training and coaching.
Organizations are as strong as their individual employees and their competencies. Our approach assists companies in establishing the core competencies of key employees in terms of the ability to perform specific job responsibilities.Our goals are to:- Establish core competencies- Hire the right people- Assist management in correctly positioning employees in their most productive roles.- Develop appropriate training- Identify future leadersIt is important to understand that for a business to achieve sustained excellence, it must match those individuals who possess the core competencies, to their most productive roles and develop replacements.
Developing employees is becoming one of the most critical roles of business leaders and managers. In today’s workplace, employers are discovering a new and challenging set of issues. Managing a diverse workplace is a challenge for the management teams throughout all industry.Our program focuses on:- Skills assessments relating to core competencies- Training programs- Career Planning- Performance Development- Continuous Improvement
Focus on the development of specific skill sets within the organization is an important factor in business success. The identification of leadership competencies has been accomplished.

This includes:- Management skills- Strategic Thinking- Team Building- Assertive Dialogue- Personal Accountability- Time Management- Sales Skills- Presentation Skills- FinancialsThe competency assessments provide the specific training needed.
